Y-Stent Rescue Technique for Failed Thrombectomy in Patients With Large Vessel Occlusion: A Case Series and Pooled Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Objective: Y-stent thrombectomy is a recent rescue technique for failed thrombectomy in patients with emergent large vessel occlusion. We presented case series of using Y-stent rescue technique at different sites and investigate its feasibility and safety through pooled analysis of collected case report or series. Methods: Twenty-eight cases were screened from stroke databank who underwent thrombectomy between January 2015 and June 2019. Clinical, procedural, and follow-up data were investigated and pooled analysis of published literature was analyzed. Results: The occlusion sites include carotid terminus in 14 patients; siphon segment in 3; middle cerebral artery (MCA) in 4; basilar terminus in 7. The overall recanalization rate reached 85.7% (arterial occlusive lesio
